1.0 Laser

Postby hoda0013 » Thu Jun 02, 2011 1:40 pm

I'm drawing up a version of the 1.0 laser at the moment using the original gantry brackets (not the newer bent aluminum type). If I'm using a 55 mm focal length lens, how far below the bottom of the laser car plate does the focal plane lie?

The focal plane is approximately 70mm below the plate.
